I use my PowerBook 17 as my main Mac. At home, I often plug a Diamondback "Razer" mouse so if I am in the need of playing, it's ready. At the office, where I bring my PowerBook, I will some times use a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, but very rarely. Otherwise, I mostly use the built-in keyboard and the trackpad for everything. Also, at both home and office, I use a PodiumPad (AKA CoolPad) to slightly elevate the PowerBook and help with dissipating heat. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mu: /moo/ The correct answer to the classic trick question "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?". Assuming that you have no wife or you have never beaten your wife, the answer "yes" is wrong because it implies that you used to beat your wife and then stopped, but "no" is worse because it suggests that you have one and are still beating her. According to various Discordians and Douglas Hofstadter the correct answer is usually "mu", a Japanese word alleged to mean "Your question cannot be answered because it depends on incorrect assumptions". Hackers tend to be sensitive to logical inadequacies in language, and many have adopted this suggestion with enthusiasm. The word `mu' is actually from Chinese, meaning `nothing'; it is used in mainstream Japanese in that sense, but native speakers do not recognize the Discordian question-denying use. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
